The alarming disease Of this
country is nervous debility and
prostl;.tjon. 1t goes under
many na:.:.::s but it is essen.
TALLY the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu.
Tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average Of life
ia the United ) .:ltes is de.
e''casing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess.
ional anl public men are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority Of sui
cides, committed without ap-
parentreasor, or ,lnderso-caled
"depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
tie nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
pcrity. They wreck manhood's
strength and wolllan's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are theya The
answer is easy and terribly
rla;n: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless andlawless
eating and drinking; the in
tens~ mental and physical strain
al;>ag from our mad race after
mo&"y, position and influence;
tue fears and struggles Of pov:
c,.y: the use of narcotics and
st;mulants; our fashion OF
turning day into night and i,
NJ, 1T into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
ray any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Asslm-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starrcd; !;
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings:-headache
in the morning; a persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base Of the brain; wakefulncss;
loss ofappetite and disgustwith
food; loss of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
iety without any assignab.a {,
reason; eructations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitation Of the heart; sal
lowness of the skin; coatc'(
tongue and gradual failure of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
9onment of the habits and clls-
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and tic
use of Shaker Ertract Of Roots
(.5eigel's syrup to cure the
mischief already done. Ii:s
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Nit. Leb-
anon, n. y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsiia. 10 do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the discrdered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vis."r, pro-
noting the secretion o: .'lle, ex-
pelling waste matters ..nm the
system, land purifying tue blood.
Upon tile nervous system
Shaker Ertroct(Seigel'sS syrup
acts as q safe and who esome
anodvne without the slightest
narcotic effect, and then leaves
the nerves to regain their nat
ural tone and strength through
its wonderful influence upon
tie function of nutrition.
